NPR - Diversity

[canpakes]

And, to be even more pointed, the MAGA Party is not really interested in or served well by the facts, so journalism of a legitimate and responsible kind is not going to be as attractive as working for a MAGA propaganda outfit.

Perhaps Ceeboo would concentrate on the output from this group of crazed radical libtards, and explain what makes it faulty, unAmerican and/or dangerous.

With examples, of course.

One thing I have to say about NPR is that they have some of the best and most informative programs on the planet. I especially enjoy their science and world news programs.

There was a response from NPR shortly after Uri Berliner's op-ed appeared in April 2024:

It looks like Voice of America radio is now ultra-conservative/Maga.

The question is: why? The answer may be complicated. There are probably more Democrats than MAGA people in journalism, but then it is also the case that Republicans have been running down NPR for a long time. That likely impacts the desire of MAGA Party people to try out for a job there. And, to be even more pointed, the MAGA Party is not really interested in or served well by the facts, so journalism of a legitimate and responsible kind is not going to be as attractive as working for a MAGA propaganda outfit.

I imagine this is correct.

I can also imagine a job interview where the prospective MAGA "journalist" asks if he gets to make up stories and NPR says, yeah, we'll be in touch.

The taxpayer-funded budget of VOA is around half of the amount of what the government sends PBS’s way, so we just need to double up on VOA, and we’ll have a budgetary parity that would theoretically satisfy MAGA, but they’ll still complain. Because they’re insufferable snowflakes.

Bonus discussion point for Dr. Exiled: the tentacles of our worldwide persuasion campaigns are now strictly confined to disseminating right-wing propaganda, Trumpian chest-thumping and stupid, juvenile lies. Take that, Big Bird!

NPR is a real treasure. I hardly listen to the radio anymore, but when I do I am tuning in to NPR.

NPR is pretty straitlaced and fair. I never understood the Republican (now MAGA) complaint. It is one of those things that robs the MAGA Party of credibility. When they embrace garbage propagnda-"journalism" and then attack NPR, they look like absolute loonies.

Lol....take a wild ass guess, but your comment is a perfect example of how when one party has a monopoly of a entity, in this case this forum being ultra liberal progressive , just how bias it can be. Likewise PBS having a huge tax payer funded endowment had a real bias. Consistency is thrown in the waste basket, and noted.
